Life's Choices

Hey, I seriously hate my online humanities class. I'm debating if I really want the Photography associates degree from the College of Dupage or if I should just really focus on the classes that Savannah will accept. I'm really tossing that idea around right now. I really don't want to be here when we convert to semesters because that will take WAY too long. All I know is that I need a serious break from a lot of things. I'm taking in too much and sometimes I just hate being nice to people. LOL. I know I know it sounds mean but hear me out.

Last Thursday the owner of Rembrandt (The wedding studio I work at) called me and asked me if I would be able to work at the Naperville branch instead of the Glen Ellyn branch I usually work out of (which the Naperville store would be a 45 min drive as opposed to 15 mins). I told the Owner (John or JZ (his nickname)) that I couldn't because I go to work after I get out of Lab and my other job photographing newborns. He asked if I was considering quitting that job anytime soon and I told him no. He had the balls to ask why and I told him...."Because they pay me at least $15/hr" that shut him up quite a bit LOL. Then he got even bolder and asked me if I had to go to lab on those days....as if my life revolved about Rembrandt Photography Studios! HA! So, once again I told him "No John, I'm not skipping school to go to work, sorry school is important to me, so I don't think that this is going to work out." He then said, okay I'll get back to you on this issue. Like he has anything to get back to me on..... but that's JZ for ya.

A few hours later Dawn (customer service from the main office) calls our studio and asks why I volunteered to go work at the Naperville store (she was calling to double check, most people wouldn't jump at the chance to work at a place they don't like and drive a longer period of time as well.) Laura (my boss) told her that I didn't volunteer to work at Naperville and told John that I couldn't work that store. We later found out that John lied to Dawn about what I said telling Dawn that "I would love to work at Naperville" I was so upset at him!!!

Now today at work, Bob (John's business partner) calls Laura and asks if I would be able to work there on Saturdays. I really don't want to because of the fact that they person they had there doesn't want to work that location anymore and got moved (b/c her mother is Bob's girlfriend) so now no one is at the Naperville location. I just don't want to go there, JZ lied about what I said and I don't appreciate that and they told me that basically I would have the choice of working Saturday at Naperville or they would cut my Saturday hours. I told Laura that I would rather take the cut on Saturday hours....Okay let's think this though for a second...

Drive 45 min one way to Naperville to work at a place that's disorganized, by myself for 4 hours just to drive home 45 minutes.

Or to have them cut my 4 hours of work on Saturdays, so I can sleep in, rest and relax like most people do on Saturday's and have time to be with my family.....

Hmmmmm?
I'd take the latter.
